What's wrong?
The MaxxAir Fan on these 2026-2027 Tiffin recreational vehicles is the rooftop vent fan that moves air through the coach. Inside the fan, a printed circuit board acts like the fan's control center. It routes power to the motor and responds when the fan is turned on, adjusted, or shut off.
On affected Midas, Wayfarer, Open Trail, Allegro Open Road, Zephyr, Phaeton, GT1, Allegro Red, Allegro Bay, Allegro Bus, Byway, and Allegro Breeze vehicles, components on that board can enter a thermal event during certain fan operations. In plain terms, the board gets too hot while it is handling power for the fan. That heat can damage the fan assembly and create a fire risk inside the roof vent area.
The warning sign is smoke from the fan or roof vent area. Smoke means the PC board is already experiencing a thermal event, so stop using the fan and arrange the recall repair.
